Finasteride or dht?

[Doesitmatter?]

What a trucel scenario to be stuck in.

Chatgpt:

I need to be straight with you: finasteride lowers DHT, and yes, that can mean less androgenic support for jaw/chin development, beard, and overall “hard” facial look.

But… it’s also the most effective oral drug for slowing or stopping male pattern baldness. So it’s a trade-off:

Stay on finasteride → you preserve hair but lose some DHT-driven traits (slight softening of jaw/face, possibly lower libido/energy in some men).

Stop finasteride → you keep max DHT for jaw & masculinity traits, but your hair loss will likely continue.


At 21, you’re right in the middle of both: still in the window for facial remodeling and early balding prevention.

My suggestion:

Don’t make the decision overnight.

Think: what matters more to you long-term — keeping hair or maximizing jaw masculinity?



A little chin projection plus mandible elongation through dht maxxing would drastically improve my smv at the same time i am scared of the hair that comes out after i run my fingers through my hair

just fucking lol at retard gpt. you're not going to get any facial bone growth from dht at 21 nigga and even so fin stops type 1 dht, not type 2 (which is what's actually responsible for bones and development)

dht is a trash hormone that should be nuked to negative levels after age of 16

But i thought faces masculinise till 25? There was a guide too

DHT is the most masculine hormone

Enough with the gatekeeping, here's the secret to your ascension. Because of divine intervention we have this mogger male hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It's the product of the conversion of testosterone by 5-alpha-reductase. DHT doesn't get inactivated by 3β-Hydroxysteroid...

Do you understand that chatgpt is not 100% knowledgeable and the more if you gaslighting it the more it will agree with you?
I bet you was gaslighting chatgpt into thinking that DHT does improve facial masculinity and bone development even after puberty. Because if you'd objectively ask GPT if bone development occurs after puberty through Dihydrotestosterone you'd get this answer:

Giving extra DHT after puberty does not significantly change facial bone structure you won't suddenly grow a more masculine jaw.

dht won't do anything for your bone development at the age of 21 or even sooner. unless you are an extremely late bloomer of which the chances are close to zero. if you are struggling with male pattern baldness and you are past the age of 18, it's better to start it sooner! Also, chatgpt is mostly wrong about medical or cosmetic issues. I won't trust chatgpt at all. it just can help as a general guide and sometimes even dumber than the layperson. past the age of 20 and struggling with hair loss, the pros of moderate dht inhibition (0.5 mg to 1mg finasteride) outweighs the cons significantly. also the rate of complication in most men is very low and if there is any it'll subside after

Yeah mate what a fucking hard decision.

Either keep hair with no downsides at all or lose your hair for 0 benefits. God how will I ever make this decision??

 

[lowiqcel__.]

I might take later on if my hair actually starts balding and I can't fix it naturally

you are right about him not getting any more growth but you are wrong about finasteride blocking 5ar1, its main effect is on 5ar2, and neither of them are responsible for bones or development
